December 2, 2022 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-23-05 for certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. AD 2020-23-05 required inspecting the control rod attachment yokes (yokes) of certain main rotor (M/R) rotating swashplates (swashplates), establishing a life limit, performing a one-time inspection of stripped yokes, and applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-23-05, the FAA has determined that certain swashplates are not susceptible to the unsafe condition, repetitive inspections for certain swashplates are necessary, and the criteria for when to perform a dye penetrant inspection needed to be revised. This AD retains some of the requirements of AD 2020-23-05 and also requires compliance with a revised life limit; performing a repetitive visual inspection of the yokes on certain swashplates; and depending on the inspection results, removing the affected swashplates from service, performing a dye penetrant inspection of the yoke, and additional corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Also, this action updates the airport's geographic coordinates. This action enhances the safety and management of controlled airspace within the national airspace system.

This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Austin, MN. The FAA is proposing this action due to an airspace review conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Austin very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR)/distance measuring equipment (DME).

This document announces that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will conduct a National Customs Automation Program test regarding the electronic transmission of certain unique entity identifiers through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). This test, which is referred to as the ``Global Business Identifier Evaluative Proof of Concept'' (GBI EPoC), is for participation by entry filers (i.e., importers of record and licensed customs brokers) for merchandise imported into the United States. Test participants will voluntarily provide specific global business identifiers (GBIs) for the manufacturers, sellers, and shippers of merchandise covered by specified types of entries, which are limited for purposes of this test to certain commodities and countries of origin. Test participants may also, optionally, provide specific GBIs for exporters, distributors, and packagers associated with the covered entries. The test will permit CBP and certain Partner Government Agencies (PGAs) to access the underlying data associated with the GBIs (referred to as the ``GBI data''), to determine whether the submission of GBIs at the time of entry filing will enable the enhanced tracing of the supply chains of certain commodities. This notice invites importers of record and licensed customs brokers to participate in the test, provides a description of the test, sets forth the criteria for participation, and invites public comments on all aspects of the test.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-07- 05, which applied to certain MarS A.S. emergency parachutes. AD 2022- 07-05 superseded AD 2022-05-09, expanded the applicability, and required removing all emergency parachutes manufactured since 2016. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-07-05, MarS A.S. developed a modification for the emergency parachutes to correct the unsafe condition. This AD requires modifying and re-identifying the emergency parachutes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Mercedes-Benz subsequently petitioned NHTSA on March 12, 2020, and later provided supplemental material on July 9, 2020, for a decision that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety. This notice announces the grant of Mercedes-Benz's petition.
